Wait for 5G is over, says PM Modi in his Independence Day speech

Wait for 5G is over, says PM Modi in his Independence Day speech During the Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about the launch of 5G services in India. He said that the “wait for 5G” is over. Additionally, PM said that Indian villages will get access to optical fiber and the internet will reach each and every village across the country. Some reports suggest that two top telecom operators -- Reliance Jio and Airtel -- will launch their 5G services today, on the occasion of Independence Day. These major telecom operators have been developing their 5G services for quite some time. Both Jio and Airtel are in a fight to launch 5G services first in India. Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal recently said that the operator will launch 5G services very soon without revealing the exact timeline. Some reports, though, suggest that Airtel’s 5G service will launch by the end of this month. The CEO also said that Airtel plans to cover all towns and cities, including rural areas by 2024. Meanwhile, some reports suggest that Jio will launch its 5G services on August 15, which is today. The company hasn’t revealed any specific details yet.   [Read More.....](   [Unsubscribe](
